About MSPC
The Mid-South Psychology Conference introduces undergraduate students to the professional conference, providing a first step to present their research and works-in-progress as posters or oral presentations. Student researchers are given the opportunity to explore the field of psychology in a relaxed and friendly environment.
The Mid-South Psychology Conference, which began at Lambuth University, is now in its 27th year. It currently rotates between The University of Memphis, Christian Brothers University, and The University of Tennessee at Martin.
The University of Memphis is hosting MSPC 2024 with Dr. Frank C. Worrell as the keynote speaker. MSPC 2023 was hosted at the University of Tennessee at Martin and featured Nathan DeWall, Ph.D.
